Claire was the winner of the Geauga Soil and Water Volunteer of the Year Award. Since his retirement in 2001, he has volunteered hundreds of hours devoted to helping Cardinal and Berkshire middle and elementary students in science and engineering. His last endeavor was helping students develop the Future City project. The students earned 10th place statewide in Columbus. Mr. "Z" as the students call him is a fine role model for Geauga students!
